Alice

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Alice could live with children aged 12+. She would like to be the only cat in the home and will require outdoor access. Alice is a lovely, young girl who was initially very worried when she first arrived here at the shelter. Now that she’s settled in, she has really come out of her shell and shown our staff her cheeky and playful nature! She loves to play and particularly enjoys wand toys. She also loves her food and will come running for treats when she hears the rustle of a packet! Although a lovely and playful character, Alice does like things on her terms and isn’t keen on being excessively handled or picked up. For this reason, we feel she would be best suited to an adult-only home, or a home with older children. She has also shown an aversion to other cats whilst in our cattery, so we feel she would be happiest as the only pet in the home. Alice sadly arrived into our care as a stray and so we have no background information on the life she led prior to arriving here at the shelter. A concerned member of the public brought her to us after witnessing her becoming dangerously close to traffic. Although Alice would still like some outdoor access in her forever home, this will need to be in a safe and quiet area. It has been lovely to see this little lady grow in confidence during her time with us and we can’t wait to see her go from strength-to-strength in the safety and security of a loving forever home, where she can be spoilt rotten by her forever family who appreciate her and all her little quirks.

About Alice

What life with Alice looks like

Alice is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter in Newcastle.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alice?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alice if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Alice already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alice isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alice and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
